Maravilla Resort Amenities

Maravilla is the one of the most popular family resorts in Destin. It’s a low-density resort (only 4 stories which means fewer people on the beach!) It has a 2-acre PRIVATE beach and plenty of green space for the kids to run and play safely. Maravilla also features two swimming pools (one heated), a hot tub, BBQ grills, tennis courts, shuffleboard, and a basket-ball hoop. Centrally located on Scenic Gulf Drive (near the outlet mall and Pompono Joe's), it is very close to local attractions, restaurants, and shopping.

About Tom and Christine

Why Tom and Christine chose Emerald Coast-Destin Area

We purchased our condo in Destin because we wanted a place for our family to gather and build fond family memories. We love Maravilla so much that when the condo right next door came up for sale, we decided to purchase another one!

We live in Austin, Texas now (we bought our Marvailla Condo when we lived in Atlanta, GA.) While living in Atlanta we would visit Destin every chance we could. Now that we are much further away, we have to plan our trips. But are looking forward to retiring in Destin someday!

What makes this condo unique

While it may not be your deciding factor when you are choosing places to rent, you will appreciate it once you get here. Most everything you’ll need during your stay is here! Our guests who stay with us comment on how well equipped our condo is.

Because we live so far away, we take special care to make sure everything is in perfect condition.

It’s imperative that we have the best help there in Destin. We employ a housekeeper who only cleans for a couple of people. We do not use one of those massive cleaning companies who dash in and out of the condo in 15 minutes and call it clean. Our housekeeper takes hours to clean our condo (yes the cleaning fee is $10-$20 more than you’d pay with others but we ensure it’ll be really clean!)

Every time we visit our condo, we are constantly upgrading!

Come and stay with us and I can assure you’ll be happy!

Really pretty, conveniently located, family friendly condo

Loved the fact that it was family friendly. We have a 5 month old and just having the pack n' play made a big difference for us.

The condo is nicely decorated and fully equipped for a long stay.

They were nice enough to give us a call when ready for an early checkout.

Just a couple of things to improve in our opinion. we got charged a cleaning fee but the place was not 100% clean when we got there. Cleaning team just looked at the obvious things but it was very dusty underneath the bed and furniture, the floor was sandy (and we understand that sand from the beach comes in) but if you are paying for a cleaning fee... oh well.

Nice place

Very nice pet friendly place, with some cute details (the Picketfence headboard in the master bedroom, for instance). The kitchen was more than adequately stocked, and I really appreciated some of the left-behinds--like salt, plastic wrap, foil. The large condo grounds were sort of institutional, but other pet owners were also considerate, so it was clean. It was expensive, but otherwise very good experience.

The management service is excellent and prompt. You are fortunate to have them.

Owner's Response: Okay so...every once in a while, you get one of those renters... who, no matter what, you cannot do anything to please them.
She looked at 2 of my Maravilla condos.
The one she did not book is more expensive because it has also gone through a full remodel $60K (all the floors, kitchen, baths, etc.)
She booked this one because it was less expensive. While all the furniture and decor are brand new, the kitchen and baths clean and nice but they have not been updated with the new $60K worth of upgrades.
About a month or so after she booked, she called and wanted me to switch he into the other condo but did not want to pay the price difference.
So she was angry that I would not give her a free upgrade.

Beautifully decorated and comfortable condo in great location

We were looking for a condo that we could bring our little maltese to and found this. It was beautiful and had everything you needed. We played tennis and the beach was just across the street. Great location as we walked to Pompano Joe's during the day for a frozen drink on the beach and one night for dinner for the best grouper sandwich. The property management is very thorough with information on renting. The even called on check in day to see if we wanted to check in early. I definitely recommend ,
